I don't know. Does your girl insist on arranging the cups in the
cupboard according to a strict set of rules? Does she complaing if socks
are not perfectly cylindrical? Does it matter to her if an item of
clothing is hung on a hanger of the wrong colour??

Ah. In the light of these revelations I think I can say that she is
definitely not related :-)

It's sounding very much like my gf too...

Hell, if it was a *girlfriend* I'd just find another one. ;-) You can't
easily do that with your mother. :-S

OK, well she's not quite as bad as your mum sounds, and she's good for other
purposes that I suspect your mother isn't. And I don't really care, so long
as she doesn't expect me to do the same as she does.

Oh good! The thought of two is just worrying...
Seriously. I can understand that the cups are different sizes, and some
ways stack better than others. We do have a hell of a lot of cups, so if
you stack them wrong they won't all fit into the cupboard. But when we
reach the level of arguing about which way the designs face and
attempting to solve some weird variant of the four-colour map problem
(i.e., find a configuration of cups such that no two adjacent cups have
colour schemes that are subjectively deemed to "clash")...
I mean, like, WTF? Who *cares* if it's "inappropriate" to have a Mars
mug next to a Children In Need mug? GET A LIFE!

Hee. ;-)
My mum only really has one use: You know how sometimes people try to
sell you something, and you really don't want to buy it, but they don't
get the message? The way my mum says it, they all seem to get the
message really rapidly...
Do NOT interrupt my mum's supper if you value your life. Seriously. The
last double-glazing salesman who did that... I hear they still haven't
released him from the funny farm yet after his nervous breakdown. >:-)

And lo on Tue, 01 Jul 2008 03:55:42 +0100, Chambers
<ben### [at] pacificwebguy com> did spake, saying:
> I do it by function.
Things I wear the most hang furthest from the hinge, similar items are
stuffed into the drawers.
Heh the weird thing is I'm the one who's called upon to organise shelves
for optimal loading, not that I get any thanks -
"I can't get to X or Y without moving Z"
"Well yeah, but you've got a choice - move Z to get to X or Y; or move
both X *and* Y to get to Z; or remove X, Y, or Z from the cupboard"
"Oh okay"
and before you ask Z tends to be used more then either X & Y combined.
Hmm it's like at the supermarket check-out I arrange the items to come
through the till in the same order I want to pack them I don't understand
people who just tip everything out.

Ooo, you don't carefully arrange items according to dimensions,
geometry, weight and temperature do you?
I mean, I try to avoid putting heavy stuff on top of light stuff. But
that's as far as I go.
